Before the neighbors could come with any
tardy offers Of consideration, Hetty had put
her mother in the ground, and on her breast

A great stone slab was dragged upon the
grave to keep the dogs and foxes from dig
ging there, and the place grew up with
every bloom that was red-with red creepar,
wild roses, the sumach leaf and the poison
vine.
It looked to strangers e. II the little shoes
had been mating seeds TO germinate in the
ashes of the widow Arnold, or dye the SOAR
let berries with their stains Of frivoljty and
of tears.
Hetty Arnold appeared at Brownsville
school that winter. tall girl, straight q
flesh and bone could grow, and comely, too,
with roses in her cheeks and large blue eyes.
She was distant without being timorous,
and soon had the scholars undsrstand that
she made no condolences and studied with .
